The recipe for our thin crust came to us from a good friend in Chicago. It is so good, our pizza has gained the reputation of being one of the best in Kansas City. Toppings change daily - Ask your server for today's creation

It was my grandsons first fine dining experience and they loved it. One grandson had the filet and lobster tail. First time with lobster and he was won over. I had lamb and it was delicious. The waiter was right on top of everything. I have one grandson who wants to redesign every restaurant, but not this one. Great experience.

I would love to give five stars to this Kansas City gem. My first visit was truly a five star experience. The service was on point and the food and wine were beyond amazing. Our server recommended a South African Pinot Noir, and it was heavenly. My most recent visit to JJ's was fantastic with the exception of the service. The supporting staff was wonderful and attentive, but our server would dash off after one person in our party of four made a request of food or drink without waiting to hear if any other person at the table wanted to place an order. I will definitely continue coming back to JJ's. I am in love with this place.

We come here for special occasions and usually have great service which I consider part of the experience. Unfortunately, this time was very different. The waiter was not attentive at all and we needed to call him over constantly just to order food or drink. He gave no extra input on menu items and did not offer alternatives if something was no longer available. The food was fabulous.

The atmosphere is really nice however our food took 2 hours to come out. We arrived at 7:45 and did not get our food until almost 10 pm. Our server never even acknowledged how long we waited on our food and hardly said 5 words to us the entire time. The food was underwhelming to say the least. The medallions had a strange after taste and the plate had no presentation to it whatsoever... Boar ragu was good but for a 250+ dollar tab for 4 people we were pretty disappointed in the entire experience, specifically the service and price for what we received.

From the receptionist to the waiters the dining experience was excellent. Had fun with brief conversations. The employees were actually concerned about their customers. They asked questions to induce conversation about who we were as a couple, what caused us to dine at JJ’s and we got to find out about some of your employees. The dining experience and ambience of the restaurant worked together to marry form and function to your establishment. Thank you.

Four of us really enjoyed the restaurant. The waiter was very helpful and as soon as we sat down the people in the next table raved about the food. We really enjoyed reading through the wine list and at the wine we picked was fantastic. Not one of us was disappointed with the meal. Now we need to come back for happy hour.

Exceptional service and awesome food! We were celebrating a friends birthday and the restaurant was very accommodating. They surprised Linney with a complimentary Birthday dessert! JJ’s made it an exceptional lunch!

It was our first time going to the new location. Food was AMAZING just as I remembered it. By far best steak in KC, hands down. I miss the old location but the new one was beautiful and we had excellent service.

We loved our JJ's experience. It was the evening after our wedding - Jimmy and all of the staff were so attentive and kind to us. Nate did a spectacular job of taking care of everyone. We are regulars, and that will never change. JJ's is a KC treasure.

While the food great, the service was awful!! Both on the patio and in the dining room. JJ’s was always one of our favorite restaurants, but the last 2 of 3 times we have been have a a great disappointment!

While I server was very kind, he needs more training. He was so quiet and mumbling. We were there for a celebration. The server did ask when he came to our table if we were celebrating anything. But it was just off. He was very monitoned. The food was good, but with these prices I would have thought the experience could have been much better. While we were all glad we tried JJ's, we won't be running back.

Ate out on the patio. Nice night and very busy but they were able to get our group of 6 a table out there. Had two kids with us who loved the pizza. Entrees were delicious and carrot cake for dessert was tasty.

We went early at 530, so it was very quiet. We had the seafood purses for an appetizer. Don't skip that! The steaks were good, the tuna was better. You can't beat the wine list. A definite place to go for a great night out.

The food and drinks were delicious, but a bit pricey. Our waiter was excellent, his knowledge of the menu was detailed. The room gets noisy when filled. The soft surfaces help, but it was too loud for my comfort level. The cheesecake was fantastic.

I had the petite filet, did not like the sauce that the steak was heavily covered in. Others at the table who did not have the mashed potatoes did not have the sauce. The steak itself was wonderful once I scraped off the sauce.

Food was okay, although main course was served within 5 minutes of receiving first course (salad). I ordered pork chop. Waiter told us one order was left. When main course came too early they said they would keep it warm until we wanted it. I declined and then they said they would take another chop out of "brine storage". It was tough. Other chop was okay.

We celebrated out 5th wedding anniversary at JJ's Restaurant om June 15,2019. The whole experience was over the top. We ordered steak and it was prepared to perfection. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the night was perfect.
